Investments
Caution
By anchor. r. nouns.
(copyright. me.)
Only a short time ago the average
price of corporation bonds made a '
new high since 1917. The low level
was reached in May 1920, since
which time with minor reactions
there has been a steady advance. A
variety of, causes have contributed
to the improvement, chief among
which is the super~abundonco of
capital seeking employment. in the
United States.
investors who bought bonds three
or four years ago now find that
their holdings have appreciated very
substantially in market valuation
and many of them are tempted to
sell. taking the apparent profit and
reinvestlng in something else in
which they hope they may repest
their success. it. is invariably a
phenomenon of the bond market
when prices go as high as they are
today that there is a continuous ex-
changing of one security for an-
other with this same idea in mind.
Now this is all proper enough and
often proves profitable but involves
some danger. In most cases when
an investor sells to realize a profit
on a high grade security he substi-
tutes for it something less secure
and so weakens his position. Unless
he exercises more than usual self-
restrnint he will shortly find himself
with a semi-speculative list. He may
pay for his new securities only up
proximately the same prices he paid
for those he originally. bought but
meanwhile the advance in the mar-
kot has carried up with it the semi-
spcculatlve as well as the invest-
ment bonds and the risk is much
greater now than it was three or
four years ago.
There is. of course. a counter bal-
ancing factor of business improve-
ment. and a. generally brighter in-
dustrial outlook. Nevertheless more
risk obtains on n 7 per cent return
to day than it did three or four
years ago when money conditions
were for different from what they
are now. it follows then that chan-
gcs in the character of ones invest-
ments should be made only with cx~
trcme caution at times when prices
are as high as they are now.

The Kind of Man Wanted
(Trade Winds.) .
Back in 1883 the district Express
Company at Cleveland. Ohio. hung
out a. sign in front of its office. It
read. "Porter Wanted." Within an
hour he looked up from hll desk to
see a. slim youth standing in front
of him.
“I want that job.” said the . boy.
who looked to be about 16 years old.
"It's too heavy work for you, son.“
said the older man, kindly.
"I’ve got to have that. Job," the
boy answered. “I'll do anything."
The willingness clinched it. The
manager told him to go to work.
The pay for the itch we! 81 o. day.
Today that same youth, R. E. M.
Cowle, is president of the organiza-
tion .tbe largest of its kind in the

CHAPTER 117.
Two hours after Michael Men-
low told Arthur Manning that he
would accept a. price‘ of 8217 s
share for the Menlow interests in
the firm. the deal ‘wds completed
in Arthur Manning‘s office by the
formal transfer of 580 shares of
stock.- par value .100. for o. consid-
ersthn of $219,840. Michael re-
served five shares.
Their respoctiva lawyers were the
only witnesses. Thurber appeared
to look upon the proceedings with
disfavor, and Michael could read. in
his eyes a. rebuke. “Your mother
is turning over in her grave," he
imagined Thurber was thinking.
"Your father invested “.000 in
the business at the start." Manning
remarked. as he handed over I
check for the first payment of 3100.-
000. “That was the seed. Here is
the lumber."
“l-ie invested more than that."
Michael responded dryly. "I mean
that he put more into it than more
money."
Thurber nodded appreciativeiy.
“He did' that. Michael." he said.
ssgeiy. "This business wouldn't_be
.what it is today if your father
hadn't slways insisted that honor
came first in business. not profits.
It's too bad that business isn't done
that way nowadays."
Manning darted a glance at him.
Wes Thurber suggesting some-
thing. There was a. challenge in
his glance. _
Michael was amused by the
shaft. He knew that Thurber's in-
timation wasn't unfounded..
afraid that Manning thought you
were referring to him personally
when you spoke about the lack of
honor in business today." he said.
when they left the conference.
Thurb‘er’s ancient skin wrinkled up
in a grin.
"What are you going to do with
this money. Michael." he slid slow-
ly. He was hurt because his client
had not revealed his plans.
"Why. 1h thinking of going into
business it»: myself. 1 was going to
talk about it with you."

could he make a go of it? Not by
himself. he mused; and who was
there to work with hlml Lonnie.
Slowty it crept upon him that Lon-
nie Wouldn't do for a partner.
His eyes had been opening up to
Lonnie since last night. His friend
—-frlend. indeed—had changed. He
was not the some Manic. . . . It
did not occur to him that he. and
not Lonnie. was changed.
He was in s but humor when he
reached Menlow House.
“I'm afraid I've played the fool,
Lilah." he said. "I sold out today.
Already I ‘feel that We made a
great mistake. I dont know what
I did it for."
She watched him. amazed. His
heart seemed to have fallen out in
an instant.
He drew out his hillfold and
showed her the $100,000 check.
“Michael! Such an awful lot of
money. What are you worrying
about?"
“Lilah, I cant” on' with this.
I'm not. competent to run s. big
business of my own. I'll always
have to work for somebody else."
His tone annoyed her.
"I do believe you are blaming

so suddenly? What has made you
lose all Your faith in yourself?”
A wave of irritation caught her
up. Had she married a coward. a

The neighbor of a. man noted for
his extreme thrift saw him going
down the road on a week day dross-
ed in his Sunday clothes.
“What's up. Jim?" he called out.
"Why the glad rags?"
“Hoven't you heard the news?"
“News! What news?"
“Triplets!" r’
“Oh. so that accounts for -«—"
began the neighbor. when the fru-
gal one interrupted him.
"Yes. that accounts for my wear-

The farmer took the new man
out to a hold and started him It
ploughing behind-two horses.
Two hours later the new man re-
turned to the house utterly exhaust-
ed. The farmer asked him how he
was getting on.
"Not gettin on st all." snapped
the man disgustedly. "How do you
expect me to hold a plough with two
big. strong horses trying to pull it
away from me all the time?”

On the whole he was A decent lit-

tunate predilection for cricket. it is
not astonishing that he should oc-
casionally have played truent from
school to indulge in his favorite
sport. But. alas. ho was always
fqund out. and the consequences
were dire.
One day. however. he hit on a
bright idea. Going to a telephone.
he called up his teacher and, cs-
suming a deep, mature voice. ex-
plained that his son would be un-
able to attend school that day.
“Thank you very much for
message." courteously replied

A (‘icrcr Demonstration.
(Tllbifs.)
Two men were discussing golf
the conversation turned to a certain
eighteenohole course. .
"I always think." said one. "that
the little nine-hole course is far
more difficult than the eighteen-
sole course."
"Well. one would expect it to be
so." exclaimed a friend Whodld not
play golf.
“Why ?" Inked the two men lll'iilll—
tsncously.
_"it is obviously easier to get a
little ball into one of the holes when-
there are eighteen. it would be
twice as hard when there are only
nine."
POLLUTION * or STREAMS
An article on "Pollution 'of
Streams" is reprinted from "Con-
necticut Industry." a periodical pub-
lished by the Manufacturers' Assocl‘
ation of Connecticut. Inc. It tells
the manufacturers‘ side of the pollu-
tion problem. It follows: '
The, outstanding feature in the past
month's legislation hag been the
passage of an anti-pollution meas-
ure, ending many years of agitation
on this subject. '
There have always been and still
are those who construe the Associa-
tion‘s position to be one of opposi-
tion to all pollution legislation, but
such an understanding is absolutely
contrary to the facts in the case.
The platform upon which the Abso-
clstion has stood may be briefly
summed up as follows:
"‘l. We believe a start should be
made toward solving the pollution
problem as evidenced by the ex-
haustive investigation we have made
through Jlmos A. Newlcnds. well
known engineer and also through
the enormous some which have sl-
resdy been expended by many indus-
trial concerns on their own initia-
tiTte in attempting to solve the prob-
lem. '
“2. We believe that there are four
types of offenders. the State of Con-
necticut through its institutions. mu-
nicipalities. industry and the individ-
ual. and when legislation is proposed
thih deals with all offenders on on
equal basis and dose not single out
manufacturers as the sole offenders.
that legislation we shall be glad to
support."
This year the Association ‘ even
went so far as to introduce the co-
cslled‘ "Commission Bill" of last
year. which included all types of of»
fenders. but this ‘messure in com-
mon with s large number of other
bills. aural of than similar to the
"Commission hill." was relented. .xn
pioneer-all of those the committee
ambit reported out o substitute
min-ass. IMEE'WO knows
provison at the end of Section 7 to
the effect that no municipality
should be required to eliminate pol-
lution until all manufacturing waste
should first have been eliminated.
This measure passed the House on
May 13 and the Association at once
took up the fight to have it amended
in the Senate by the removal of the
objectionable clause in Section 7.
This was done by a vote of 17 to 16
and A low days afterwards the
House concurred in the nciion‘of the
Senate and the bill now awaits the
signature of the Governor. "
The bill also provides for the up
ppintment by the Governor of a com.
mission of three to administer the
law and these appointments will be
made public by July 1.

- We were riding up from New Ha-
ven on'a train last night. and were
sitting in the club car. In came two
very pretty and rather young wom-
en. They set in two chairs. One at
them pulled out a package of cheap
cigarets and the two of them sat
there and smoked. Not many of the
men in the Pullman club car seemed
greatly surprised. Or perhaps the
men were ashamed to give any evi-
dence of surprise. Anyhow, we
didn’t: we pretended it was all very
old stuff to us. although it wasn't
and probably never will be.-Ncw
